haha - yea same thing happened to me - i miraculously stumbled upon this excellent program today and downloaded it to cut up a long mp3 file which is over 2 1/2 hours long and indeed i got up to 1 hr and 41 min and it keeps playing from the start but as someone said a couple of posts ago, if u just play it from before 1 hr 41 min then it plays as normal - even if I cut any amount of file from before it it still happens - ..........i just had a brain storm - i will try to cut the track before 1hr 41 min and then save it then re-open it - that may work - i will post results !!
